Online League Import Bug

BOHL- · 01-13-2025, 12:39 PM

Hey!

I was looking for an update on the online league import crash bug. I haven't seen one announcement or post saying that it is even being worked on other than asking for a file. My league has been stalled for 16 days now with no notice or update of the issues...

Our file has been uploaded for a while now (BOHL.lg)

It's been disheartening to say the least that there has been zero update as mostly everybody in the league has bought FHM11 for the online league.

Is there any way this process can be communicated better going forward? Would like to know anything at all!

I too would like to see an update. There are still zero working FHM11 online leagues because of this bug.

We've been looking at it, but the source of the problem seems to be corruption in individual team files, and we're still not certain why it's affecting some users and not others. In the case of your league, the corruption's only in the team files for Toronto, Boston, and St. Louis. We'd like to see the individual saves for one or more, preferably each, of those teams, and one from any other (non-commissioner, but human-controlled) team in the league.

Understood! Do they need to upload their saves into the server? And you would just need the FHM files and not the other folders correct?

JeffR · 01-15-2025, 10:48 PM

Right, put them on the server, and they can leave the subfolders out.

Hey Jeff!

Our updated league file is uploaded and named "BOHL_Sim1.0.zip". We simmed once with exports that weren't corrupted, so the following team files are meant for this new BOHL file and not the previous one.

The St. Louis Blues files are uploaded and named "BOHL_Files-STL-corrupted.zip".

The Montreal Canadiens files are uploaded and named "Testing_MTL-working.zip".

I private messaged you the commish password again in case you need it and let me know if there's anything I can help with to solve this. Thank you for the help!

We've finally tracked it down. Unfortunately, it's not good news. The damage caused by the problem apparently isn't just limited to the data of a few teams; it's happening to all of them, just to varying degrees so some of them will still import successfully, at least for a while, while others are damaged enough to cause a crash. And it'll have been ongoing in any multiplayer league started with 11 that imported team files at any point, even if the problem hasn't become evident yet (multiplayer leagues entirely run by a single person, i.e. so they can play multiple teams, will be fine because they don't import/export.) That's probably going to necessitate a re-start for any league begun in 11, and a re-import to 11 from the old FHM10 files of older leagues.

This is going to take some time to fix and test thoroughly, so we can be sure that there's no remaining issues that damage the data in a way that doesn't become evident quickly. I'll let you know when I have a more definite timeframe for the fix, but right now it's looking like multiple weeks, possibly in the next scheduled update.

Okay. Thank you for the update and will be looking forward to hearing about the time frame.

If we go back to 10, will the international tournaments for custom games be available when imported to 11? (Olympics, etc)

BOHL- · 01-22-2025, 09:12 AM

?

JeffR · 01-23-2025, 02:02 AM

Looks like we'll be able to have the fix out a little earlier than expected, it's looking good so far. Hopefully by the end of the week at the latest, but it may be today if the overnight testing looks good.

The international tournaments need to be enabled at the start of a custom game, so now, it wouldn't be available in a converted 10 save.

JeffR · 01-23-2025, 07:18 AM

Hotfix is out now.

BOHL- · 01-24-2025, 08:50 AM

Thank you for letting me know. We plan to sim this weekend and will let you know how it goes. Appreciate the work to get this done!

So far everything is working correctly!
